Chapter 22: The Ancient Tree of the Blood Pool

In order to survive, Choi Joo-hyun was very cooperative, and after we negotiated, we also let go of her hands and feet.

After a brief dress, she led us into the peculiar white robes of the kind here, and then carefully bypassed the sentry in front of us to the rockery next to a pool.

On the east side of the rockery is a waterhole drawn from Hallasan Mountain, and not far from the west side, there is a narrow gap.

There was a man on duty, and when he sensed that someone was approaching, he immediately shouted alertly, and the young lady behaved very naturally, and after answering the call, she muttered for a while, and finally at the end of "Smecta", the man did not speak again, and let us in.

I followed Choi Joo-hyun and Qu Fat-san to the gap, and after passing through three heavy steel gates, a bluestone staircase descending appeared in front of me.

The steel gate looked new, like the product of the last ten years, but the bluestone steps were very old, and there was moss on them, and they looked like they were hundreds of years old, or even older.

We walked down the bluestone steps slowly, there was electricity here, there were lights shining, but the wattage was not high, it was very dim.

Further down, the lights faded, leaving only the leaping flames.

Qu Fatsan was obviously a little strange, asked two sentences, and after getting an explanation, he kept nodding his head, which made my heart itch, and I couldn't help asking: "What's going on, what are you talking about?" ”

Qu Fatsan said I asked why I couldn't get the electricity down, and she told me that it didn't like it.

Who do I say it is?

Qu Fatsan said that it was an evil god enshrined in their sect.

Cui Zhuxian was obviously able to understand some Chinese, and when he heard Qu Fatsan say the word "evil god", he hurriedly corrected: "It's not an evil god, it's a true god, the only true god......

She doesn't know much Chinese, and she also smells of sticks when she says it, but she seems quite persistent about this matter, repeats it a few times, and adds a few words in Korean.

After hearing this, Qu Fatsan turned around and said to me: "She told us that let's not judge their gods at will, otherwise the gods will be angry, and there will be bad things that will come and destroy not only us, but even everything in front of us......"

"Uh-huh, yes."

Choi Joo-hyun nodded vigorously and said yes, that's it.

There was an outsider beside him, and Qu Fatsan and I didn't communicate much, but at this time, our eyes exchanged with each other.

At this point, I actually kind of figured it out.

Beneath the secret private villa of Hallasan Mountain, there is something we need to face seriously in addition to the Busan Shinrikyo that we are going to face.

That thing is the false god they believe in.

And listening to Choi Joo-hyun's meaning, this pseudo-god is different from the Buddhas we believe in, and it is obviously still very active.

We didn't have too much to worry about this, just before coming to Jeju Island, we also had a similar experience in Songshan Shaolin, Master Shi Yongyi invited, but it was also the power of the Buddha, but after all, we still had to reach a reconciliation with Qu Fatsan.

Therefore, when it really comes to our part, our hearts are open, and there is not much fear of anything in the world.

However, in order to stabilize Choi Joo-hyun's mood, we still behaved very well.

So without speaking, we walked slowly, the bluestone steps were very long, I don't know how many steps, and finally came to a huge open cave, and on the way, we did not meet any guards, unobstructed, and did not feel the breath of anyone around.

Walking down the last step and looking at the open space the size of several football fields, there were many stalagmites and stalactites scattered up and down in the middle, blocking the view, Qu Fatsan narrowed his eyes.

He chatted with Choi Joo-hyun for a few words, and the girl was shocked and kept shaking her head.

I looked a little confused and asked what was going on.

Qu Fatsan said that she didn't know where people were, and said that she had brought us here and had fulfilled her promise, so she should be released, and as for the rest of the matter, it had nothing to do with her.

I sneered and said how can there be such a good thing in the world?

Choi Joo-hyun blushed and said excitedly: "Talking, don't count, puppy ......"

I said that it doesn't mean that words don't count, think about it yourself, we are here to save people, and we can't find anyone, how can we let you go?

Cui Zhuxian stammered: "They, people, it's not good, there's no way, save it." ”

What should I say?

She spoke Korean again, and Qu Fatsan listened to it, said a word with a very serious face, and then said to me: "She said that the couples sent are already the people of the true God, and it is impossible for anyone to take them away, otherwise the true god will be angry, and at that time, no one will survive......"

I sneered and said You tell her, it's not that Lao Tzu hasn't seen God, so I don't care if I'm angry or not? If something happens to the person I want to save and I get angry, it's really terrible.

These words were translated by Qu Fatsan, and Cui Zhuxian was so frightened that he pounced and fell directly to his knees, keeping scratching something on his chest, as if begging for forgiveness.

Qu Fatsan shouted at her a few more times, acting very harshly, and the woman finally gave in.

She stumbled to her feet, then led us in the direction of the left.

After walking for more than three minutes, someone finally appeared in front of him.

These men, dressed in white robes and with cross-like designs painted on their faces, did not come up to question us about our arrival, but fell to their knees and bowed to us in a very respectful manner.

As we walked on, we met a few more people, all of whom fell to their knees and did not say a word.

After encountering it three times in a row, Qu Fatsan finally couldn't help it and asked Cui Zhuxian, but she didn't know it either, and kept shaking her head.

Qu Fatsan gave me a color and asked me to watch this chick and tell her not to play tricks.

I nodded quietly.

I squinted my eyes and looked around, and found that the cave was much narrower, and it had become a passage where only a few people could walk side by side, and in front of me, there seemed to be a cry of pain.

There was no other source of light in the long passage except for the leaping flames far behind us.

In such a situation, the cry of pleading and crying is particularly terrifying.

We walked cautiously, and after a while, we reached the end of the passage, and saw that there was a large pool of blood in front of us, I don't know the depth, there were constantly tumbling bubbles on the surface, and in the middle, there was a big tree similar to Metasequoia Ghost Locust, which grew out of the bottom of the pool, with a well-developed root system, some deeply planted in it, and some suspended above the surface of the pool.

The tree was very large, and from my side, it should be able to reach a diameter of more than ten meters, and it was made up of several main trunks, and finally reached a height of five meters above the water, and combined to form a single trunk.

It has many branches, and the top goes straight to the top of the cave.

Looking at the posture, it seems that above the top of the cave, there is a long section of tree trunk, which may have pushed out of the ground and spread to the surface.

The pools of blood, the dense branches of the giant trees, and the cries around them make the atmosphere very eerie.

I listened intently, feeling where the cry was coming from.

After a while, I finally determined the direction of the cry, which was coming from the pool of blood.

I told Qu Fatsan not to move, and walked slowly to the side of the blood pool, squinting my eyes, and from the fire eye, I could see that there were two heads on the undulating surface of the blood pool.

Both heads are bald, and the hair is gone, but I can tell the gender from it.

One male, one female.

Not only that, but the two of them are also Asian faces, very young, the woman has a duck egg face, if you add hair, it should be very beautiful, and the man is a little habitually squinting, apparently wearing glasses before.

They floated in pools of blood, revealing their entire heads at one moment, and then covering most of the churning pools of blood.

Either way, I could only see their heads, and the rest of their bodies were hidden under the surface of the pool of blood, and their cries were peculiarly pale and weak, without any spirit, as if they were from the soul.

I watched it for a while, although it wasn't Lin You and Xiao Luqi, but I was also sad, and I looked back and wanted to confirm with Qu Fatsan to see if I could save people.

And the moment I turned around, Qu Fatsan suddenly shouted: "Be careful! ”

I felt a terrifying force suddenly attacking behind me, and subconsciously pounced forward, rolling on the spot, and I felt that there was a huge impact sound from the place where I was standing just now.

I tumbled up from the ground, but I saw a fierce beast of one foot tall and covered in blood crawling out of the pool of blood, which looked a little like a blind bear, but not so stupid, with staggered muscles, a hideous head, and red and crystalline eyes, exuding a cruel and fierce light.

The beast slammed into the place where I had just stood, and the rubble flew as it spatter, and at the same time, from the pool of blood, seven or eight other beasts that looked like it slowly crawled out.

The beast couldn't struck, roared, and rushed towards me, and at that moment, a fight broke out behind me.

I flicked my legs and jumped away a little, but I saw a large stream of blood coming from all directions, and finally landed on Choi Joo-hyun not far away, rendering her whole person dazzling.

She also fought a few tricks with Qu Fatsan in an instant, and she was not inferior.

After fighting a few moves, the two sides separated, Cui Zhuxian fell on top of the blood pool, as if standing on the ground, while Qu Fatsan squinted his eyes and said slowly: "I think you should not be called Cui Zhuxian, but Kim Yuna, right?" ”
